The Revival of L-Animations

Hello everyone and I know its been 1,2, 3 years! Since I have posted on this blog and about 6 months since I last made a cartoon. Life has been pretty hectic but I want to get back into animating as well as having a full time job. I don't know if I am going to be successful or not but I plan on posting every Saturday on this blog! I also plan on going back to my twitch streams as well. I am currently in the pre-production stages of my latest animation. I do not have a title or plot lol but I am about to sit down and write the story. I plan to start releasing episodes in January and in my similar format: serial episodes and then a final FULL episode released the day after the finally. I also plan on posting more information here because I do not want to pay for a website and blogspot is easy and free. I look forward to working on this next animation with you all and I hope I can stick it out! I hope to see you all on my next twitch stream OR on my Friday post! Bye for now!

I MOVED :(

Hello everyone and I have some very important and official news: This blog will no longer be functioning as of today because: I HAVE MOVED! I have finally created my website www.laurenanimations.online on the weebly platform and guys I am so proud of myself it didn't take long at all. AND I can upload my videos without taking up too much space. That means I also have a new blog BUT I will be keeping this one up so the older posts won't be lost. Thanks for sticking around with me through this transition:
Friday's Production Update

PRODUCTION UPDATE # 9: SUMMER TIME, MORE ANIMATION PROGRESS, AND A POTENTIAL NEW SERIES?

Production Update #9: Summer Time, More Animation Progress, and a Potential New Series!?

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to a not so Friday production update more like a Saturday oops I forgot production update. But I had a good reason....well not a good reason more like me forgetting because THE NEW BTS ALBUM CAME OUT YESTERDAY and I listened and still listening to that album like literally 20 times straight (exageration) anyway before I get into fangirl mode (if you didn't know I am a HUGE ARMY (if you also didn't know my current bias is Jimin just saying look at HIM: 

))

Sorry for that *coughs* anyway let's get down to business (not to defeat the huns....but to talk about what has been going on this week animation wise!

Summer Time & More Animation + Progress

If you already didn't know I am a college student and my specific classes get out in literally two days. I just have to finish up a couple of more assignments and then everyone guess what!? I WILL BE FINISHED FOR THE YEAR! No more tests, essays, quizzes, assignments until AUGUST! DID YOU HEAR ME AUGUST!? That means....I have freaking freetime to do alot more animation the only thing is that I am going to be working a full time job starting in June so that means I am going to be going back to my usual schedule but for now I am going to do sporadic live streams on my twitch and more uploads other than Billy & Willy. Here is a list of projects that SHOULD be coming out in the summer:

• Billy & Willy Next Door Nemesis Episodes 4-6 [June-August]
• Red Summer [June 2019]
• Unamed Project with a Mystery Theme [September 2019]
• Animated General Updates?

So yeah basically nothing new I will be only uploading one month at a time because animation is going to take a lot of effort!

General Billy & Willy Update 

*Cough* Please forgive me but I am making slow progress with this episode for one of two factors:

Factor One: (Blaming school but I am procrastinating on those as well) I do have a lot of essays to write that are due this week and I feel like I shouldn't be focusing all my time and effort on animation but I still do it every now and again.

Factor Two: This scene is actually in one flash file so I am animating the same file over and over and over again. I like animating on separate files then bringing them together in sony vegas and seeing the progress. With one file I can't do that because I am going to have to render at specific points and it's just alllloooottt of WORK. 

Factor Three: [I've been playing a lot of sims, roller coaster tycoon, and reading manga. I'm practically on vacation mode I have been since the beginning of April SUE ME. I WILL BE WORKING IN THE HOT SUN ALL SUMMER FROM 8 TO WHO KNOWS HOW LONG...sorry for yelling lol but partly because of that reason that's why I am more lax on my animation.]

BUT DON'T FEAR! I am going to be completing two essays tomorrow and one on Tuesday/Wednesday and then I'll have like 10 days to write the other one as I am writing this. BTW I have been thinking about doing animated general updates instead of having them in posts. I would be doing those twice a week since animating takes freaking forever and I will be using my mascot LANIE to animate.

======

Other than that I hope you all have a good rest of the school year and congratulations to those who get out early like me! I will see you all THIS FRIDAY hopefully with a better mood. I decided  btw: I am going to start the animated updates in May I don't know how long they will be but limited animations. Lol I know I am always all over the place but please forgive me xD! SeeYOUl8ter!

Screenshot: "BENJAMIN THEODORE JENKINS HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND"

Screenshot: BENJAMIN THEODORE JENKINS HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the first screenshots after my quote unquote break anyway today I have two screenshots from Next Door Nemesis Part 2. In the first screenshot Benjamin is trying to get the attention of his Aunt who is to busy talking about politics on the phone with one of her neighbors. I googled an eye glare and I just saw two straight stares and I thought it would be funny. I mean look at her face! Also I'm glad that the glass rendered well because I just learned how to make things transparent. In Winter Wonderland in the last scene I was dissapointed that the ice didn't render transparent and by that time I was done with it. Luckily however, the transparency did a good job and it looks real. I just noticed that the couch isn't lined up :(

The second screen shot is still of William's mother Susanna who is talking about her brother in law Mr. Jenkins (who will come up again in Jenga or Not) and is kinda of a silent protagonist throughout the series. He's there and always mentioned but I doubt I will make an episodes specifically with him being in the villian's spot. I love the way her face turned out and I even included a little anime symbol when the character is frustrated. This was rendered before the back door was added. 

Anyway that's it for today and I hope you enjoy this screenshot. Don't that this Friday I will have another production update AND! (Breathes) Billy & Willy's Next Door Nemesis Part 2 will be out May 4th, 2019 whenever I upload it so sometime around the morning. As stated in my sporadic update this week I discovered an easier format to upload on youtube BUT it still takes like literally two hours (no joking like literally an entire morning to render on Sony Vegas ;/ I don't use Premiere Pro because I have been using Vegas FOR YEARS) Anyway before I ramble on even further GOODBYE UNTIL FRIDAY!

Production Update #8: WELCOME BACK L_ANIMATES, New Twitch Times?, and General Update!

PRODUCTION UPDATE#8: WELCOME BACK L_ANIMATES, NEW TWITCH TIMES?, AND GENERAL UPDATE!!

Hello everyone it's good to be back on the blog! If you didn't know already I had a five day break on posting things because I was finished with Next Door Nemesis Part 1 which by this time it should be uploaded. I've watched Part 1 over and over and over again just to work out the kinks and I have at this point in time fully moved on to Part 2! Let's jump right back into the swing of things.

Alright so for those who are reading this right now if you didn't know I do twitch streams M, W, and F between 9:00 AM and depending between 10:00 AM or 11:00AM however, I am switching that up because I find that is way to early and I am changing it to 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM. I know it's shorter than before but I just wanted to make sure that people have a chance to watch it and that is honestly not that late. I've been contemplating doing YOUTUBE streams but I haven't clearly decided on that yet.

Next Door Nemesis Part TWO Update

Okay so next I am going to be talking about Next Door Nemesis Part 2 even though the video says June 2019 it's more like May 2019 or even late April because I am already on Scene 2 Part 2. I don't go by story board I only go by script and from the looks of it it won't take that long for me to complete it especially since I am going to be out of school in literally 8 days! These next two weeks however, will be taken up by final essays so I will not be doing that much animating as of now. 

This is William's mother Susanna crying over something [read the text] I had fun with this scene I like doing facial expressions and I even through in that symbol from animes because I feel like my characters are to static. They do not so that much movement or facial expressions. I also am planning to do this in one file and not a bunch of mini ones. What I mean is that I basically will be using the scene feature that flash has and then exporting it all in one go and then just editing the big file. Let's see how this goes. 

I am sorry the short post ALSO there will be no production update on Friday because I am going to be working my butt off on these essays. Starting April 18th I will be free from school UNTIL AUGUST!

BILLY & WILLY NEXT DOOR NEMESIS PART TWO RELEASE DATE!

Next Door Nemesis Part 2 Release Date!

Hello everyone and I am hoping onto this blog for a very quick announcement and that is: Next Door Nemesis Part 2 is coming out quicker than you think. After next week I will be out of school that means no papers and tests and I will be focusing on animating pretty much all summer. I have been working on Part 2 since the release of part 1 and the release date will be;

SATURDAY MAY 4TH, 2019 @ 8:00 PM

I finally found a format that wouldn't take that long to upload on youtube but it takes a crap ton to render on Animate CC and Sony Vegas [nearly two hours] Also there will be a special twitch broadcast:

FRIDAY May 3rd, 2019 @ 8:00 PM-8:20 PM 

for the premiere [I will be reannouncing it when it's May. Other than that see you Friday for the production upload!
